In This Article:

Now here we are. As many times as we said "I feel like it'll never come" or "it can't come soon enough" now, I'm begging you to stay. Now I'm begging you to find and or accept a job in this town that you've called home for the last four years. I am begging you to at least stay over the summer. I'm begging you to stay over my house every night because I don't want to lose hours with you.

But my begging is selfish and in reality, I couldn't be more proud of you. In fact, not only do I envy you but you've become someone I look up too. It's been hard watching you do all the senior stuff this spring. From taking your graduation pictures to going with you to pick up cords, and now, I have to watch you walk across that stage. I can promise you the tears that come will be a mixture of happy and sad. Proud tears because you earned this. You worked hard for this. Happy tears, well because when you're happy I'm happy and I know this was your dream, your goal.

Sad tears because now there's only a maximum of 72 hours before the real world rips you from my hands. But what it can't rip you from is my heart. My heart is so full for you. My heart has tons to say to you but even more to wish for you.

1. Never forget what you deserve. 

  • As you go into the world, know that you deserve the world and don't settle for anything less.

2. Life becomes all that you want it too. 

They say "life's what you make it." I hope yours becomes everything you want and make it to be. I hope you make it just as good as you have made mine.

3. Your dreams stay big. 

You deserve that dream house. You deserve that dream car. You deserve that dream career. You deserve that dream love. But as much as you deserve all those things, keep dreaming and keep dreaming.

4. Your worries stay small

I hope you never have to carry more than you can hold. Your worries stay about your successes.

5. When a door closes, you walk and find a window. 

I've watched as you have never given up. For example, here you are graduating. It hasn't been easy for you. Lots of doors shut in your face. But you always found a window to crawl through. You learned to use each challenge as an opportunity to overcome the problem, despite adversity.

6.  You stay true to yourself because I love that person. Be you.

You gave "original" a new definition for me. You taught me that it was okay to be myself as I watched you be unapologetically yourself.

7. You change the world

The world needs you more than I do. The great person you are, the heart you have, the world desperately needs you. So go, go change the world.

8. Cherish every moment

Even if you're running someone coffee. Know that is where you are supposed to be. Do it with a grateful heart & watch it bring you to many new starts.

9. Follow your heart 

The heart you have some people would die for. You can't teach people to love like you do. You can't teach people to have compassion like you do.

10. Know somebody loves you & wants the best for you. 

When you feel unloved, alone, drained, exhausted, know there's someone out there rooting for you. Loving you from 1,000 miles away. Ready to watch you chase and accomplish everything you want in life. That person is me. I love you.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
